## Sport Performance Analysis: Tennis
* Overview of tennis as a high-intensity intermittent sport.
* Key characteristics: Anaerobic power, reactive agility, and muscular endurance.

## Muscle Fiber Type & Energy Systems
* Dominance of Type IIx and IIa fibers for explosive force and repeated efforts.
* Hierarchy of energy systems: ATP-PC (primary), Anaerobic Glycolytic (secondary), and Oxidative (recovery).

## Nutrition & Play Styles
* Pregame strategy: Complex carbs 2–4 hours before match play to prevent glycogen depletion.
* Comparison of physiological demands for Baseline, Serve-and-Volley, and All-Court players.

## Injury Prevention & Biomechanics
* Common injuries: Lateral Epicondylitis (Tennis Elbow), Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy, and Ankle Sprains.
* Focus on addressing asymmetrical loading patterns.

## Resistance Training & Off-Season Programming
* Scientific breakdown of RFD (Rate of Force Development) and rotational power.
* Sample one-week off-season schedule featuring trap bar deadlifts, sprint intervals, and mobility work.
